GUND, the oldest plush toy company in the United States, is recognized for their unique softness, quality and design of their plush toys.

The real Bongo is a beagle who was surrendered to the local animal shelter by his owner, a hunter, because he wouldn't hunt.

Bongo, the gentle, peace-loving beagle from the book That Dog Won't Hunt!, is done in the true GUND style. Soft and cuddly, he is the perfect addition to story time reading with your children..

as well as the four-legged ones.

The plush beagle toy sits over11 inches tall. The rabbit on top of his head is permanently attached and Bongo is sporting a peace sign necklace.

Bongo sells for $20. But if you buy him along with the book,
That Dog Won't Hunt!, then he's only $15!

As with all of the other products from Grinning Beagle, a portion of the sale of the plush toy will be donated to an animal protection group.
